A lack of records

Progress in practice - The UKCPA autumn symposium was held in Blackpool on November 19-21, 1999

A large number of medication doses were not recorded as being administered or omitted, according to a study by Ms JOANNE STABLER (Leicester Royal Infirmary and Glaxo-Wellcome poster winner). In a number of instances it was impossible to tell if important medication had been given. Correct recording of omissions had improved following a nurse education programme.
